With great sorrow we announce the sudden passing of Jeremy at Shuswap Lake General Hospital on February 10, 2018.
Born in Kelowna, B.C., Jeremy lived several years in Calgary Alberta. He moved to Salmon Arm in February of 2015 and attended Shuswap Middle School. The past two years Jeremy has attended Jackson Campus and enjoyed all of the new courses and challenges. When asked, his school days were always “Awesome”. Jeremy enjoyed his summer employment at Save on Foods, especially cashiering. He enjoyed special times participating in 180 Youth at Shuswap Community Church, bike riding at the skate park, playing computer games and being with friends.
Family and friends were very important to Jeremy. A loving son, he is survived by his mother Debbie, Blair, sister Sarah, great grandmother Leona, father Eric, grandparents Rosemary, Andy, Trudy, Rye, many great aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
Jeremy will always be remembered for his boisterous laughter. He was loving, caring, kind, polite, honest, sincere, generous, friendly, genuine, sensitive, very intelligent and would do anything for anyone.
Many thanks to the Emergency Response Teams, R.C.M.P. Officers, and the professional team at Shuswap Lake General Hospital.

Debbie, Rosemary and Sarah, I am so very sorry for your loss. I can’t even imagine your pain. Jeremy was a great kid, always very friendly, polite and willing to help. He loved coming to work with you Rosemary and the little old gals loved it when he came too. Much to their delight he would sit down and chat with any of them, making them smile and feel special. He brought with him the exuberance of youth and the genuine joy of being around other people. Just want you to know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers every day.
We are praying for all of you at this very sad time. May you. Be comforted by knowing that others share your sorrow . With sincere condolences. Bill and Marge Girard
